Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.” Psalms 23:6

Resources

he property Sheridan Lutheran Church sits on is more than just the parking lot and building. If you venture behind the Family Life Center, you will find Sheridan’s Outdoor Worship Area that can be used for weddings and other special events, as well as a Columbarium, with niches available for the remains of your loved one. Also, starting at the southwest end of the parking lot there is a walking trail with benches overlooking our pond, where often turkeys, deer, fox and other wild animals can be seen. These amenities remain open to the public year-round.

Columbarium

The Columbarium at Sheridan provides the opportunity to remain spiritually connected to this Christian community and serves as an extension of Sheridan's ministry as it creates a serene place to reflect and worship.
Simply stated, a columbarium is a slightly curved wall of 335 recesses (niches), which hold urns that contain remains. The design of Sheridan's columbarium provides a peaceful atmosphere and beautiful place for solitary prayer and reflection. It is accessible for those who wish to gather for prayer and remembrance overlooking the pond. The niches can accommodate one or two urns and are identifiable with personalized engraved granite face plates.
